No luck for Alabama's latest attempt to legalize statewide gaming after the Senate failed to pass the bill by just one vote.

Alabamians won't have a chance to vote on gambling within the state this year after lawmakers failed to come to an agreement during the latest legislative session before it adjourned.

Alabama lawmakers ended the legislative session Thursday without approving a lottery, slot machines and video poker machines, continuing a 25-year stalemate on the issue of gambling. Supporters were unable to break an impasse in the Alabama Senate after the measure failed by one vote earlier in the session.

However, the concurred bills failed to make it to the Senate floor. Sen. Greg Albritton, R-Baldwin County, who sponsored the bills in the Senate, said he would have voted no on the bills after they passed in the House.
